Could it be just because we love the family? I know this is why I watch! It is a peaceful wonderful show! They should let them on more often! Instead they put 300 pound people, Engaged for 90 days and many others for long period of times. To each his own but I don't watch these shows! It doesn't entertain me or bring me peace!

I am so glad the show is coming back on in Feb.Its exciting to see the family is growing and that three of the girls are expecting. I hope to see Josh Anna and their kids and Jim Bob and Michelle and the show in Feb.

You can only watch 'counting on' if you pay or have cable. It is not free online through TLC without having a cable provider.Youtube only advertises the cost of watching the season. |If anyone knows anything else for sure let me know. I have a mi-box. (Android) but not cable.

They are nice and that's why they are being crucified. Just like Trump. He was nothing but cordial on the State of the Union. I have found the higher our moral standards are, the more we are hated by those led by the Enemy.

The Bates Family looks like they're wrapping Tori's engagement and wedding all into one episode on UPtv, so it'd be nice to have TLC do the same with the Duggar Family. Too many episodes devoted to every detail of planning a wedding. Wrap it up in one episode and have other story lines for the other episodes (their jobs, hobbies, church life, social life, birthday parties, travel, house flipping, newlywed life, pregnancy, teaching values to the Jill's/Jessa's/Anna's littles, Jana's life, the grandbabies with the grandparents etc).

It seems every season, we get two wedding episodes - a shortened one to kick the season off and a longer one at the end of the season, then at least one clip show. Considering the seasons are only like 8 episodes long, that averages to 25% of a season being recycled content

We have definitely seen enough of all the weddings so far, including Joe and Kendra's. We know it was his first kiss and now she is pregnant. The weddings were all great. Sometimes it feels like we are watching repeats in the off season when really they are in a new season. They don't seem to have a lot of filming time per season other than the weddings. I love the family and would like to see more of their daily lives.

A “rainbow baby” is a baby that is born following a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss.In the real world, a beautiful and bright rainbow follows a storm and gives hope of things getting better. The rainbow is more appreciated having just experienced the storm in comparison.

A Rainbow Baby is a baby that is born after a lost baby. In other words, it is the rainbow that comes after a rain storm.(I think that is correct)That was how it was explained to me. I know that each child brought joy and light into our home and into my heart as well ♡

Wouldn’t it be nice if these two seemingly private people, Jana and John David, would be allowed to live theirs lives without speculation and prying.I have enjoyed this show since the beginning but I wanted to see it end. It was time for some members of this family to enjoy a private life. They deserve it

Hurray Dear Duggers, I cannot wait to see the new episodes. So excited about the 3 new bundles of joy, the gender reveals and births. Wondering who will be in the next courtship? Thanks for returning. Natasha B.

12:13 - "It" is that you have multiple commenters on here with multiple points of view. Some are upset that Derick has been taken off, some are upset that the show is still on, some are happy that the show is still on. There are many people who post under "anonymous." Does that clarify it for you?

It looks like 2018 will be the year of grand-babies! Joy, Jinger, Joe & Kendra... and I bet Jessa or Jill will be pregnant again before the year is out. I SO hope it's courting news for Jana. She is a jewel! I can't understand why a great guy hasn't made his move. John is kind of an introvert and dresses/styles himself like a 50 yr old farmer instead of a virile young man under 30. That could be why he's not courting. Mom and Dad - help the boy out!

I find it interesting that people become so invested in this family. I live this life but it is my daughter, nieces and nephews that fill up the slots. We don't do courtships, just dating, engagements and marriage. Weddings, Mar 2014, June 2015, Oct 2015, Sept 2016, Oct 2016, Births, July 2016, Dec 2016, Aug 2017, Sept 2017 (2) Pregnancies, due Feb 2018 (2). I feel sorry that their lives are so on sale. Would be nice for them just to enjoy their family without all the scrutiny, but they are all over the internet, so no privacy.

Can't be on TV without scrutiny and having every detail analyzed. They continue to be on TV so obviously they accept that. Could be the wealth that comes from it causes them to use poor judgment on protecting their family.

A lot of people put their info all over the internet. At least the Duggars are getting paid for it. I enjoy my own family, but I also enjoy seeing the Duggars and Bates and keeping up with the their families. It is an encouragement to me to see how God has blessed them.

Glad the show is coming back on soon ...but I can't seem to get my hopes up.but hopefully someone has planned some more interesting shows ,and not flashback scenes ,and showing wedding prep shows ,when we've seen the wedding,and the couple is expecting.......😳💙❗️🙄❣

I agree...TLC needs to catch up and not dwell on every wedding and courtship detail on each marriage. Maybe a couple episodes but not a entire season. Then the flashback get obnoxious. It is not the family, it is whomever is doing the editing.

Robin, there are lots of Christians on TV. There are also other networks who dedicate time to "family-friendly programming"- far more than TLC has in its lineup any given season. The are a significant number of Christians, quietly living out their faith on a daily basis, within all aspects of the television industry. The Duggars don't have a corner on the Christian television market! LOL

I love this show. It makes me so happy to watch this family! I have kept the last three shows so I can watch over and over again! Thank you for being your selves! Hateful people should be deleted from this page! I love you all, even josh! Miss seeing Anna and her family! Please come back! To heck what people say. They judge too much~! As God with judge them! It's not fair that they only let you on for short period of times! I don't judge what they watch, so they shouldn't judge what we like!!! To each his own!

TLC has made the decisions on how they want the show done. I miss seeing the little Duggars and have suggested the family move to UP with the Bates family. I am sure they have a new contract written every season so maybe they should check out another network.

I doubt we will see Samuel or Mason's birth. But I hope they at least mention they were born last year. Imagine when they are older and watch all the episodes and they don't even get a mention in their birth year. And for the fans who only follow the family by watching the show is getting the shaft.

I think we will see Jill and babies occasionally but Derick will not be seen unless in a crowd shot like a wedding etc. Anna & kids will be seen a little also. Josh is too controversial & I think TLC banned his appearance. There is ark till an ick factor about him for lots of people.

Anonymous @ 12:47- Perfectly stated! While I believe childbirth is a beautiful and natural thing, seeing someone else's wife giving birth isn't exactly modest unless you're a First-Responder, mid-wife, an OB-Gyn, General Practitioner, or the only person available in an emergency.

Derick is not being persecuted! Christian persecution is very real, but not being allowed on a tv show isn’t persecution. Being killed for your beliefs is persecution. I’m sure those who have endured persecution would be appalled to know that people in America call what happened to Derick persecution.

Dear Jim Bob and MichelleI would like for you to clear up the rumor of Jana and Caleb Williams courtship. Also John David and the rumor of the secret courtship in Texas. I would like to about Josiah and if he has been courting? Heard the rumors as Jan 8, 2018. Please write back as soon as possible. Love the show and can't wait for the new season.Natasha B.

Maybe mom & Dad are allowing the twins to move out & live on their own...I mean, John owns a home of his own and Jana owns a business & could definitely afford to rent or buy. They’re almost 30 - I think that’s only fair.

woohoo! please make the seasons longer than 8 eps and show stuff in order and dont keep playing the same clips over and over. i loveee this fam and need moree! but the producers are really messing things up!
